Thus, we can use the mathematical expression for <em data-effect=\"italics\">Q<\/em> to determine a number of quantities associated with a reaction at equilibrium or approaching equilibrium. While we have learned to identify in which direction a reaction will shift to reach equilibrium, we want to extend that understanding to quantitative calculations. We do so by evaluating the ways that the concentrations of products and reactants change as a reaction approaches equilibrium, keeping in mind the stoichiometric ratios of the reaction. This algebraic approach to equilibrium calculations will be explored in this section.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp292035664\">Changes in concentrations or pressures of reactants and products occur as a reaction system approaches equilibrium. In this section we will see that we can relate these changes to each other using the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation describing the system. We use the decomposition of ammonia as an example.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp114949440\">On heating, ammonia reversibly decomposes into nitrogen and hydrogen according to this equation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp2372544\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]2{\\text{NH}}_{3}\\left(g\\right){\\rightleftharpoons}{\\text{N}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)+3{\\text{H}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp42253680\">If a sample of ammonia decomposes in a closed system and the concentration of N<sub>2<\/sub> increases by 0.11 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em>, the change in the N<sub>2<\/sub> concentration, \u0394[N<sub>2<\/sub>], the final concentration minus the initial concentration, is 0.11 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em>. The change is positive because the concentration of N<sub>2<\/sub> increases.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp249176544\">The change in the H<sub>2<\/sub> concentration, \u0394[H<sub>2<\/sub>], is also positive\u2014the concentration of H<sub>2<\/sub> increases as ammonia decomposes. The chemical equation tells us that the change in the concentration of H<sub>2<\/sub> is three times the change in the concentration of N<sub>2<\/sub>, because for each mole of N<sub>2<\/sub> produced, 3 moles of H<sub>2<\/sub> are produced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp309373104\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]\\Delta\\left[{\\text{H}}_{2}\\right]=3\\times \\Delta\\left[{\\text{N}}_{2}\\right][\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp117027920\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]=3\\times \\left(0.11M\\right)=0.33M[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp128292720\">The change in concentration of NH<sub>3<\/sub>, \u0394[NH<sub>3<\/sub>], is twice that of \u0394[N<sub>2<\/sub>]; the equation indicates that 2 moles of NH<sub>3<\/sub> must decompose for each mole of N<sub>2<\/sub> formed. However, the change in the NH<sub>3<\/sub> concentration is negative because the concentration of ammonia <em data-effect=\"italics\">decreases<\/em> as it decomposes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp301878592\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]\\Delta\\left[{\\text{NH}}_{3}\\right]=-2\\times \\Delta\\left[{\\text{N}}_{2}\\right]=-2\\times \\left(0.11M\\right)=-0.22M[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp146645120\">We can relate these relationships directly to the coefficients in the equation<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp99849136\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]\\begin{array}{ccccc}\\hfill 2{\\text{NH}}_{3}\\left(g\\right)\\hfill &amp; \\hfill \\underset{}{\\overset{}{\\rightleftharpoons}}\\hfill &amp; \\hfill {\\text{N}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)\\hfill &amp; \\hfill +\\hfill &amp; \\hfill 3{\\text{H}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)\\hfill \\\\ \\hfill \\Delta\\left[{\\text{NH}}_{3}\\right]=-2\\times \\Delta\\left[{\\text{N}}_{2}\\right]\\hfill &amp; \\hfill \\hfill &amp; \\hfill \\Delta\\left[{\\text{N}}_{2}\\right]=0.11M\\hfill &amp; \\hfill \\hfill &amp; \\hfill \\Delta\\left[{\\text{H}}_{2}\\right]=3\\times \\Delta\\left[{\\text{N}}_{2}\\right]\\hfill \\end{array}[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp185094016\">Note that all the changes on one side of the arrows are of the same sign and that all the changes on the other side of the arrows are of the opposite sign.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp272348512\">If we did not know the magnitude of the change in the concentration of N<sub>2<\/sub>, we could represent it by the symbol <em data-effect=\"italics\">x<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp194755024\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]\\Delta\\left[{\\text{N}}_{2}\\right]=x[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp139573952\">The changes in the other concentrations would then be represented as:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp306351472\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]\\Delta\\left[{\\text{H}}_{2}\\right]=3\\times \\Delta\\left[{\\text{N}}_{2}\\right]=3x[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp80648800\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]\\Delta\\left[{\\text{NH}}_{3}\\right]=-2\\times \\Delta\\left[{\\text{N}}_{2}\\right]=-2x[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp55617168\">The coefficients in the \u0394 terms are identical to those in the balanced equation for the reaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp334864672\" data-type=\"equation\">[latex]\\begin{array}{ccccc}2{\\text{NH}}_{3}\\left(g\\right)\\hfill &amp; \\underset{}{\\overset{}{\\rightleftharpoons}}\\hfill &amp; {\\text{N}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)\\hfill &amp; +\\hfill &amp; 3{\\text{H}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)\\hfill \\\\ -2x\\hfill &amp; \\hfill &amp; x\\hfill &amp; \\hfill &amp; 3x\\hfill \\end{array}[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idp77844960\">The simplest way for us to find the coefficients for the concentration changes in any reaction is to use the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.

The sign of the coefficient of X is positive when the concentration increases and negative when it decreases. We learned to approach three basic types of equilibrium problems. When given the concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium, we can solve for the equilibrium constant; when given the equilibrium constant and some of the concentrations involved, we can solve for the missing concentrations; and when given the equilibrium constant and the initial concentrations, we can solve for the concentrations at equilibrium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section><section id=\"fs-idp118001008\" class=\"exercises\" data-depth=\"1\">\r\n<div class=\"bcc-box bcc-info\">\r\n<h3>Chemistry End of Chapter Exercises<\/h3>\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp78773232\" data-type=\"exercise\">\r\n<div id=\"fs-idp121129104\" data-type=\"problem\">\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li id=\"fs-idp166949280\">A reaction is represented by this equation: [latex]\\text{A}\\left(aq\\right)+2\\text{B}\\left(aq\\right)\\rightleftharpoons2\\text{C}\\left(aq\\right){K}_{c}=1\\times {10}^{3}[\/latex]\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Write the mathematical expression for the equilibrium constant.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Using concentrations \u22641 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em>, make up two sets of concentrations that describe a mixture of A, B, and C at equilibrium.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A reaction is represented by this equation: [latex]2\\text{W}\\left(aq\\right)\\rightleftharpoons\\text{X}\\left(aq\\right)+2\\text{Y}\\left(aq\\right){K}_{c}=5\\times {10}^{-4}[\/latex]\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Write the mathematical expression for the equilibrium constant.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Using concentrations of \u22641 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em>, make up two sets of concentrations that describe a mixture of W, X, and Y at equilibrium.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>What is the value of the equilibrium constant at 500 \u00b0C for the formation of NH<sub>3<\/sub> according to the following equation?\r\n[latex]{\\text{N}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)+3{\\text{H}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)\\rightleftharpoons2{\\text{NH}}_{3}\\left(g\\right)[\/latex]\r\nAn equilibrium mixture of NH<sub>3<\/sub>(<em data-effect=\"italics\">g<\/em>), H<sub>2<\/sub>(<em data-effect=\"italics\">g<\/em>), and N<sub>2<\/sub>(<em data-effect=\"italics\">g<\/em>) at 500 \u00b0C was found to contain 1.35 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em> H<sub>2<\/sub>, 1.15 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em> N<sub>2<\/sub>, and 4.12 \u00d7 10<sup>-1<\/sup><em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em> NH<sub>3<\/sub>.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Hydrogen is prepared commercially by the reaction of methane and water vapor at elevated temperatures.\r\n[latex]{\\text{CH}}_{4}\\left(g\\right)+{\\text{H}}_{2}\\text{O}\\left(g\\right)\\rightleftharpoons3{\\text{H}}_{2}\\left(g\\right)+\\text{CO}\\left(g\\right)[\/latex]\r\nWhat is the equilibrium constant for the reaction if a mixture at equilibrium contains gases with the following concentrations: CH<sub>4<\/sub>, 0.126 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em>; H<sub>2<\/sub>O, 0.242 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em>; CO, 0.126 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em>; H<sub>2<\/sub> 1.15 <em data-effect=\"italics\">M<\/em>, at a temperature of 760 \u00b0C?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A 0.72-mol sample of PCl<sub>5<\/sub> is put into a 1.00-L vessel and heated.
